Bootstrap '54 Vintage Sparkle Set for Strat®

Regular price $49.99 $0.00
Our '54 Vintage Pro single coil pickups for Stratocaster® is a lot like our original '54 Vintage pups, but by swapping in vintage-spec ALNICO 3 magnets, they get a bit less output and a dash more sparkle! This is one of our favorite recipes.


We recommend choosing flat stagger pole pieces for modern guitars that have a fretboard radius of 9.0 inches or greater.

Under The Hood

  • Forbon® vulcanized fiber bobbins
  • 42 AWG pure copper wire with ruby enamel insulation
  • ALNICO 3 magnets
  • RW/RP middle pickup for noise cancellation
  • Push-back cloth leads with 22 AWG pre-tinned wire for easy installation
  • Lightly potted in a mix of beeswax and paraffin
  • Chrome height adjustment screws and spring
  • Includes parchment or black covers
  • Resistance: ~5.6kOhm*

*Please note that resistance values are approximate and may vary due to a number of factors including actual wire thickness, wire tension, ambient temperature as well as differences between multimeters. We accept a tolerance of +/-10% K Ohms. Bootstrap Pickups winds to a a set wind count, not resistance.
